The MLS doesn't record why a contract ends. In our experience the most common reasons are home inspection findings, appraisals that come in below the price, and buyer financing. How buyers paid on closed sales: conventional 32% · cash 55% · VA 10% · FHA 0%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 38 homes that did sold in a typical 9 days. The 22 that needed price cuts took a typical 50 days and sold at 93.2% of asking.
- The $1M+ range struggled most, with 31% not selling. The $750K–1M range did best at 16%. Know where your home sits.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a typical 81 days. For a home near the median $848,125 price, estimated carrying costs run about $1,412 a month before mortgage, or about $3,767 while a home sits unsold.
- Contracts fall apart too, about 1 in 6 (17%). Most often it's inspection, appraisal or financing issues, in general industry experience. Get ahead of them with a pre-listing inspection, repairs done and a realistic price.
If you're buying
- There is room to negotiate. 60% of homes sold below first asking price, and the median sale was 98.4% of it.
- Homes that sit are the opportunity. Ones that needed cuts sold at 93.2% of asking, and ones that fell out of contract and sold again closed at 90.8%.
- Cash is common here. 55% of buyers paid cash, 32% used conventional loans and 10% used VA. Line up your financing before you make an offer.
